Classical Ballet - UK or Russia to study?
Dancing unicorn replied to TwoLeftFeet's topic in Doing Dance
I agree about Rambert too. Definately more Contemporary based. A parent asked at audition in January how many they had go into a ballet company and they could only name 1 person! So not the place to go if you want a ballet company at the end of your training! -
You say your dd is going into yr5 in September. Has she auditioned for RBS Assiciates and awaiting result or is she auditioning next year? Doing an associate class as well as her usual classes is definitely something to think about. I know Birmingham are Saturday classes but could you do Manchester which I know are Friday or Sunday! Or is London on a Sunday? I canât remember! She still has 12 months before auditions for vocational school start so changing and getting somewhere where she can do more classes now is more preferable than leaving it too late! Oh and have you thought about doing some summer schools this year?

My dd has just passed Grade 4 RAD and been doing Inter-foundation (would have taken exam but cos hadnât turned 11 by time Exams came round couldnât do the exam - she had to wait another 12 months before she could do the exam at school!) If your dd goes to vocational school then she will be doing RAD exams (depending on where she gets in as some donât follow a syllabus at all) so may be better to change or at least do RAD along side Cecchetti. Just a thought x

My dd (and others who I know have birthdays July/August!) were turned down for Rambert this year purely because of age! They do tend to take those that are older! I had already thought my dd too young for the London scene! It does depend on the child (and the parent!). I wouldnât dream of sending my just 16 yr old off to another country to train, and yet lots of people do!
-
In British schools the school year age is 16 and turning 17 during the school year! (Birthday between 1st September and 31st August during year of entry). Not 15 turning 16 if that makes sense? So if your dd wonât be 16 til the October, then her entry will be the following year! My ddâs Birthday is July so she is one of the younger ones in her year! October birthday - she will be one of the older ones! Hope that makes sense!!

All booked here too! Sad but excited at same time!! Cant believe Saturday selling so fast!!!

Last year it was 2 shows a day! Hoping same this year but only thur, fri and sat x

Split sole or full sole shoes for Junior associate auditions ??
Dancing unicorn replied to Selby1974's topic in Doing Dance
When dd was JA in Manchester they wore full sole pink leather shoes (freed aspire were the preferred choice at the time!) but in the 3rd year they changed to satin full sole because of the floor being too sticky! Donât know about other centres, but I would just go with what your dd normally wears for her own classes and then get what JA teachers want when they get a place!! As for leotards again just their normal class leotard, but definitely no tights as shoes are taken off to look at feet! -
What would we do without you Pictures!!!!! Xx

Ahhh bless him! I remember ddâs first residential! It was WL Summer School when she was just 10 the week before! We said to her when she applied âif you get in weâll buy you a phone for your birthdayâ not even thinking that she would get in! She got a place and her first phone! Fortunately for me being a teacher, (and hubby said a treat for me haha!) I booked the week watching. It was so funny cos we said to dd ânow you must ignore mummy while youâre there, and just pretend sheâs another teacher watchingâ. Well true to her word she completely ignored me the whole week! One day she came and sat opposite me at lunch, but didnât say a word but just smiled and then looked away haha! She would phone each evening, and sounds like she had a fab time. At the end of the week we found her crying after the performance, sheâd had such a fabulous time, didnât want it to end but had missed me! It was so hard for her me being there but it really did prove to us that this was what she wanted to do! So it just shows that kids really will put up with anything if itâs what they really want to do! The following year she did 2 Summer schools!! I still watch at summer schools (when allowed, not all do!) even now, but she doesnât ignore me anymore!
